The naked body of a woman was found in a meadow near Westdorpe in Zeeland on Saturday. Given the injuries on the body, the police believe the victim was murdered. Investigators call on the public's help to identify the victim.

A passerby found the remains in a meadow on Sint Anthoniekade, near the border with Belgium, at around noon on Saturday. Forensic investigation was conducted at the scene on Saturday. A helicopter was used to take aerial photographs of the scene.

The victim is a white woman between the ages of 50 and 65 years old. She has short red hair, a normal build, is between 1.65 and 1.7 meters tall, and has no tattoos. She was wearing no jewelry or clothing when she was found.
